Notes:
Outcrops are defined as exposed bedrock with a surface area of less than 15,300 m2.  Bedrock and bedrock outcrops in areas of recent forest fires were removed from the South-western half of NTS 85-N.   A complete methodology description is presented in the Openfile publication.  Some of the additional geological features in these areas include drumlinoids, eskers, major and minor moraines, and glaciofluvial sediment polygons derived from Craig (1965) see appendix A.
